Looks good to me. o: I've never used cosplay fu before (since, by the time I can afford their outfits, I'd rather save up for the best quality cause I'm a stickler for that) but I've seen and heard nothing but good things. I say go for it~ ^^

What has happened.
I am now obsessed with cosplaying fem Alois.
How...what...o; I used to barely like it at all! I waaaaant it though. *~* But for now...off to not wear my newly styled Alois wig. Darn you family, being home. D;

Well I like quality to but shipping is a pain in my rear and I'm not sure I can trust the other sites >.> Ebay is my love but I just don't know if I can trust the ones I find...

I'm starting to worry about my butler!Grell costume. I didn't make any of it. I bought the pants and jacket from Goodwill and the ribbon and chain for the glasses at Michaels, altering pieces as necessary. It doesn't "feel" like a cosplay for some reason, and I'm concerned that it looks half-assed.

I see. Sometimes it can be really hard to find stuff without pain in the @ss shipping. :/

And...I will Friday for a video chat so I suppose that's enough in one week~ XD

Okay. If I see you at AWA, I am going to hug you and shower you in compliments. :T I'm sure it looks fine!~ And...it is still a cosplay, just a simple one you bought. *shrugs*

A few times I get the 'We don't ship to Hawaii.' Which is like 'What? WHY!? We're a State to you know!'

@moonfall: Pictures? >.> and I'm sure it isn't half assed! There is nothing wrong with buying and putting an cosplay together.

Wow...places won't ship to Hawaii? That's dumb. I did two commissions earlier this year that I shipped to Hawaii (one was Ranmao from the second season of the anime) and I'm just a person who does commissions on the side for a bit of fun and a little extra money. You would think other places would ship out there. It does cost a little more to ship to Hawaii, but it shouldn't stop a place from doing so.

I realized that my costumes are usually still works-in-progress the first time I wear them. You won't know what works and what doesn't until you test it out in public.

The reason I thought you might be being sarcastic is because you see a lot of snarkiness online. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody DID making a mockingly sympathetic comment as a way of telling me that I need to grow a thicker skin. Some people get waaay too much pleasure insulting strangers online.

I'd love to see pictures of the Ranmao commission. Is it really that much more expensive to ship to Hawaii?

China won't sometimes and Europe won't. >.> I do understand why they don't but it shouldn't cost much more for shipping between Hawaii and the Mainland USA (especially with the flat rate boxes) T_T but People for whatever reason won't and its a pain.

Like I'd find an awesome item on Ebay and when I look to check the shipping...it won't. Gets my hope up for nothing

Here she is: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/2921989/ Click her name down there where it says who the cosplayer is to see more photos of it. It cost me a lot more to ship to her though because I had to do express shipping. But there is a bit more of a cost to ship outside the mainland.

That all sucks. If you are running a business, you should be willing to ship wherever since that person is willing to pay you. I guess I'm spoiled living in one of the mainland states.
